Very strongly agree

No, and political campaigns should be publicly funded

The Democratic party has long advocated for publicly funded political campaigns as a way to reduce the influence of money in politics. For example, the party's 2016 platform called for the creation of a public financing system for congressional and presidential elections. This position is widely supported within the party and is seen as a key component of campaign finance reform.

Agree

No, these types of donations just turn into bribes

Many Democrats argue that large donations from corporations, unions, and non-profits can lead to corruption and the appearance of bribery. This concern is a driving force behind the party's support for campaign finance reform. However, the party has not consistently called for a complete ban on these types of donations.

Agree

No, but allow donations from unions and non-profits

The Democratic party has historically been more supportive of unions and non-profits, and they may be more likely to support allowing donations from these entities while banning corporate donations. However, this position is not universally held within the party, and some Democrats may still support allowing limited corporate donations.
